Giuseppe Sinopoli

Description:

Unfinished" expresses romantic lyricism to the fullest, overflowing with a serene beauty that conceals a boundless longing. Based on his impressions of southern Italy, Sinopoli's "Italia" is a vibrant work with a dazzlingly lively and sunny atmosphere and dance-like compositions. Sinopoli conducted the Philharmonia Orchestra shortly after assuming the position of music director, and his performance of "Unfinished" in particular was much talked about at the time of its release as an unprecedentedly insightful interpretation of the piece.
